Question

Pick out the collective noun(s) from the following sentence.

A group of students fought in the street.

• A. group, students, street
• B. students
• C. street
• D. group
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D group

Collective nouns refer to a group of people, things or animals. In the given sentence, 'group' is a collective noun because it refers to a group of students. Hence option D is correct. 'Students' is a common noun, it denotes the plural form of the noun 'student', it's not a collective noun. Street is a common noun that refers to a general place, it's not a collective noun. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
